Mornin' Friday Fans,
Well, I ain't quite sure it's Friday. This weeks been such a strange week with being sick an' all, that I don't rightly know what day a the week this is. This here computer says it's Friday, so I reckon maybe it is. ;)
It has been a strange week. I came down with the virus that's been going around our area (chills, aches, fever, cough) on Sunday afternoon. On Christmas morning I was tired, achy, and cold. My dad came down with the same thing around the time we finished opening presents. My sister had a headache and was really tired. My mom had a cough from something else and hadn't been sleeping well, so our Christmas day was a bit strange. Dad slept most of the afternoon. I took several naps during the day. And it really didn't feel much like Christmas.
Tuesday Dad and I were still fighting the virus, and I had started coughing. It was (and is) a nasty cough. More naps, not much getting done.
Wednesday was the final Puppet Outreaches for the puppet team at church. And I couldn't go. :( But at least my sister could. By afternoon my energy was coming back. The aches and chills were gone. All I had left was the cough. And it's a cough that doesn't want to go away.
Yesterday I was coughing more, but Mom was feeling better and getting more sleep!
And now it's today.
I haven't written.
And I don't know if I'll even attempt to post things on here much longer. However, I was thinking about sending short stories I write out to "test readers" instead of posting them on here.
Oh, and starting on January 1st, Read Another Page is hosting a Reading Challenge! Complete with prizes, "stickers" and a list of fun categories to read books from. Check it out by clicking the button below. And let me know if you are going to join. ;)

Does it sound like fun?
How was your Christmas?
Aww sorry to hear you were sick, Rebekah! It's been really weird...our family had something similar to that too! And I've been hearing a lot of other people were getting thta as well. Some weird virus is going around...glad to hear you're feeling better now though!
ReplyDeleteAnd that reading challenge...is soooo tempting right now. I feel like I barely read anything this past year and I kinda feel guilty xD A reading challenge would really help to keep me reading more!

ReplyDeleteThe opening lines of this blog post make me smile every time I think of it (which I do once in a while, oddly enough). Every time I recollect those lines, I tell myself I ought to let you know how that friendly Western drawl made me happy. =D
ReplyDeleteOh, and that reading challenge you announced in this post has been very good incentive to keep me reading books from my TBR list! Thank you!
